Farewell to Christie

 Today after school, I took the girls to Westfield Century City mall to pick up a Pandora charm as a farewell present for my friend Christie who is moving back to Ohio in three weeks.  I intended on going to Pandora first, but went the wrong way and ended up going to the kids zone so the girls could play on the gigantic play structure there.  We were the only ones there and they got the entire thing to themselves!  When they got their fill, we found Pandora and I purchased their last seashell charm (to remind Christie of California).  As the associate was wrapping the box, Sophie was hanging on to a display case with a bunch of loose rings on top.  The associate warned that the case could easily flip, so I reached out to grab Sophie's hand just as she was jumping.  I ended up scratching her little face (twice) with my nails.  Poor thing started gushing blood on the side of her nose.  :(  So I carried her back to the car and we were driving out when I realized that one of my dangle earrings was missing.  *sigh*  

We made it home and I made dinner for the girls as Lydia finished up her homework.  We were planning on meeting Trung at Sonoma Wine Garden early to eat oysters during Happy Hour, but apparently they were out of oysters!  Argh!  So, he just took the kids to SAMO the whale to play more and I were to Nordstroms to browse.  At 6:30 I met my lady friends at Sonoma for dinner.  We had a wonderful time chatting the night away.
